What the day feels like
What the night feels like
The event unfolds like a sequence of small set pieces: arrival on the farm, access to the full Winter Wonderland, a hayride through illuminated displays and artificial snowfall, then free time to explore the tree farm, settle at fire pits while a projector plays holiday films, let kids loose in the adventure park, browse the country store, decorate ornaments or visit the ice cream and hot-cocoa offerings—the ticket grants entry to the whole evening of activities.
